Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention generally relates to Analog to Digital (“A/D”) conversion. More specifically, the invention relates to a plurality of A/D conversions in which at least one of the A/D conversions is operable with a signal cancellation system of a receiver. Such a system may be particularly beneficial to communications employing Code Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”), Wideband CDMA, Broadband CDMA, (“UMTS”), Global Positioning System (“GPS”) and combinations thereof.
- 2. Discussion of the Related Art
- Interference in communications obstructs the intended reception of a signal and is a persistent problem. Interference may exist in many forms. In CDMA communications, for example, interference is typically the result of receiving one or more unwanted signals simultaneously with a selected signal. These unwanted signals may be similar to that of the selected signal and may therefore disrupt the reception of the selected signal. This disruption of the selected signal may corrupt data retrieval processes of a selected signal. Such problems are typical in CDMA telephony systems.
- In CDMA telephony, a communications system typically includes a plurality of “base station” transceivers providing a coverage area within a geographic region. These base stations communicate with mobile telephones and/or other CDMA devices operating within the coverage area. To illustrate, a base station provides a coverage “cell” within the overall communication coverage area maintained by the communications system. While within a particular cell, a mobile telephone can communicate with the base station providing the coverage for that cell. As the mobile telephone moves to the cell of another base station, communications between the mobile telephone and the base station providing the initial cell coverage can be transferred via a “hand off” to the other base station. Typically, CDMA cells have overlapping coverage.
- Each base station within a CDMA telephony system uses coded signals to communicate with mobile telephones. For example, typical CDMA telephony systems use pseudorandom number, or pseudo-noise, (“PN”) spreading codes, occasionally referred to as “short codes,” to encode data signals. These encoded data signals are transmitted to and from mobile telephones to convey digitized voice and/or other forms of digital communication. PN codes are known to those skilled in the art.
- To encode the data signals, the base station applies a short code to the data at a rate that is faster than that of the symbol rate. For example, the short code is applied to the data such that there are multiple “chips” of the code for any given symbol of data. Such an application of the short code is commonly referred to as direct sequence spreading of the data. Chips and their associated chipping rates are known to those skilled in the art.
- Often, each base station is assigned a particular timing offset of the short code to differentiate between base stations. Mobile telephones may therefore determine the identity of a particular base station based on the timing offset of the short code. Additionally, the data signals are often further encoded with a unique “covering” code. Such covering codes provide “channelization” for a signal that increases the probability of data recovery of a selected signal. For example, data encoded with a covering code can further differentiate signals thereby improving detection and subsequent processing of a selected signal.
- These covering codes are often used in CDMA telephony systems and typically include families of codes that are orthogonal (e.g., a Walsh code) or codes that are substantially orthogonal (e.g., a quasi-orthogonal function (“QOF”)). Orthogonal and substantially orthogonal covering codes have properties that allow for the differentiation of unwanted signals and are known to those skilled in the art. Walsh codes and QOF codes are known to those skilled in the art.
- Both the short codes and the covering codes assist in the detection, acquisition, tracking and data recovery of a selected signal. However, interference caused by other signals may still degrade data recovery of the selected signal. For example, as a mobile telephone communicates with a particular base station within the coverage cell of that base station, communication to and from other base stations can interfere with the mobile telephone communication. Since cells often overlap one another to ensure that all desired geographic regions are included in the coverage area of the communication system, one or more signals to and from one base station may interfere with the communication link, or “channel,” between the mobile telephone and another base station. This effect is commonly referred to as cross-channel interference.
- Still, other forms of interference may occur from “multipath” copies of a selected signal. Multipath can create interference due to the reception of multiple copies of a selected signal at differing times. Multipath typically occurs because of obstructions, such as buildings, trees, et cetera, that create multiple transmission paths for a selected signal. These separate transmission paths may have unique distances that cause the signal to arrive at a receiver at differing times and is commonly referred to as co-channel interference. Additionally, the effects of these separate paths may bleed over into other cells to cause cross-channel interference.
- Multipath creates co-channel interference because, among other reasons, the orthogonality of the covering codes for a received signal is essentially lost due to timing offsets associated with the multipath. For example, a multipath signals arriving at a receiver at differing times cause a misalignment of the covering code. Such a misalignment can result in a high cross-correlation between covering codes and a reduction in the ability to correctly retrieve conveyed data.
- “Rake” receivers, such as those used in CDMA telephony systems, can assist in countering interfering effects caused by multipath. For example, a rake receiver may have a plurality of “fingers,” wherein each finger of the rake receiver independently estimates channel gain and other signal characteristics (e.g., phase) of the selected signal to more accurately demodulate data of the selected signal and subsequently retrieve the data. Each finger is assigned a particular “path” of the selected signal (i.e., one of the paths of a transmitted signal that comprises multipath signals). Additionally, as signal characteristics change, the fingers may be assigned or de-assigned to other “paths” of the signal to improve data retrieval.

FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a priorart rake receiver 100.Rake receiver 100 is configured for receiving an analog radio signal and converting that radio signal to a digital signal in the receiver front-end 110. The digital signal is subsequently processed by the rake receiver (i.e., by among other things processing fingers 104 1 . . . P, where “P” is an integer greater than one) to extract data and/or voice from the digital signal. - The digital signal is transferred to searcher
finger 103, which detects a signal path that is subsequently assigned to aprocessing finger 104 for tracking and demodulation. Eachprocessing finger 104 is assigned a unique signal path to process the signal of interest (“SOI”) of the received signal. For example, eachprocessing finger 104 may track a signal path that comprises a plurality of channels. The processing finger may then demodulate a particular channel for subsequent combining and processing. - Combiner 105 combines the processed signals from processing
fingers 104 to improve an estimate of the SOI. For example,combiner 105 may perform maximal ratio combining (“MRC”) of the demodulated signals produced by each of theprocessing fingers 104. This combining may improve the signal quality of the SOI estimate and is subsequently processed by therake receiver 100 to extract data and/or voice. Extraction of the data and/or voice is performed bydescrambler 106, deinterleaver 107 anddecoder 108 ofrake receiver 100. Such descrambling, deinterleaving and decoding is well-known to those skilled in the art. - Prior to descrambling, deinterleaving and decoding of the SOI,
rake receiver 100 converts the received analog radio signal to a digital signal.Rake receiver 100 uses a receiver front-end 110 that comprises adownconverter 101 anddiscretizer 102 to convert the received radio signal to a digital signal.Downconverter 101 receives the analog radio signal, down converts that signal to a baseband signal and low pass filters the baseband signal. The filtered baseband signal is transferred to discretizer 102 for A/D conversion of the baseband signal and subsequent amplitude adjustment and scaling of the resultant digital signal. Upon conversion of the radio signal by receiver front-end 110, the resultant digital signal is transferred tosearcher finger 103 and/orprocessing finger 104 for the processing described hereinabove. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of prior art rake receiver front-end 110. Rake receiver front-end 110 comprises downconverter 101 anddiscretizer 102 ofFIG. 1 . The prior art receiver front-end 110 is configured for receiving an analog radio signal and down converting and discretizing that signal to a baseband digital signal. - Down
converter 101 comprisesbaseband converter 201 and low pass filter (“LPF”) 202. Baseband downconverter 201 receives the analog radio signal and down converts the signal to baseband as is well known to those skilled in the art. Also well-known to those skilled in the art is the subsequent low pass filtering (i.e., by LPF 202) of the baseband signal. The low pass filtered baseband signal is transferred to discretizer 102 wherein the signal is digitized by A/D converter 203. - Once the signal is digitized by A/
D converter 203, the digital signal is transferred to again controller 204 for amplitude adjustment and scaling. Typically, the gain controller is an Automatic Gain Controller (“AGC”) that receives the digital signal and automatically adjusts the amplitude of the signal based on a requisite dynamic range of the receiver. The amplitude adjusted signal is then transferred to a searcher finger and/or a processing finger, such assearcher finger 103 andprocessing finger 104 ofFIG. 1 , for further processing as described hereinabove. A/D converters and gain controllers (e.g., AGCs) are well-known to those skilled in the art. - The allocated number of bits (i.e., bit width) produced in the AGC of prior art rake receivers as a representation of the received signal is a trade-off between accuracy in data recovery and processing limitations. These rake receivers are typically not concerned with interference cancellation that may require an increased number of bits and as such do not produce a second digital representation of the signal with greater bit accuracy.
- The present invention provides systems and methods for operating signal cancellation with a receiver. In one embodiment of the invention, the receiver comprises a discretizer configured for generating a plurality of digital signals from a received analog signal. For example, the discretizer may generate two digital signals from the analog signal with each digital signal being sampled by an A/ID converter at a particular resolution. Accordingly, each of these two digital signals comprises a number of bits specific to the resolution used to generate the digital signal representations.
- Typical rake receivers use a requisite number of bits to process a received signal. For example, once a radio signal is received by the receiver, it is digitized at a predetermined resolution. The resultant digital signal is transferred to processing fingers of the receiver for tracking and demodulation. Often, the tracking and demodulation processes of prior art receivers only requires enough information as to determine the polarity of a data symbol. The A/D conversion of the rake receiver is, therefore, performed at a resolution that can enable such a determination with consideration to the associated computational cost.
- Since interference from other signals is an ever-present problem in communications and since prior art rake receivers do not effectively eliminate interference, one embodiment of the present invention includes a Coded Signal Processing Engine (“CSPE”) that substantially cancels the interference. In this embodiment, the CSPE is communicatively coupled to the discretizer and configured for substantially canceling one or more interfering signals of a digital signal. The CSPE receives a digital signal with a bit width different from the bit width used by other processing functions of the rake receiver (e.g., processing fingers and/or searcher fingers).
- The digital signal received by the CSPE is typically discretized at a higher resolution than that of the signal used by the other processing functions of the rake receiver. This higher resolution may allow for better characterization of signals that interfere with the recovery of the SOI. For example, signal cancellation as described hereinbelow may be performed using a composite interference vector (“CIV”) as described in the '015 patent application. The CIV includes information regarding the amplitudes of certain interfering signals to more effectively cancel those signals.
- In one embodiment of the invention, the CSPE includes a matrix generator that is configured for generating an interference matrix from one or more codes of interfering signals. In another embodiment of the invention, some of the interfering codes are generated by a processing finger of the rake receiver. For example, the rake receiver may comprise a plurality of processing fingers, each of which is configured for processing either the digital signal used by the typical rake receiver or the substantially interference canceled digital signal generated by the CSPE. When processing a digital signal used by the typical rake receiver, a processing finger may extract a PN code of a signal assigned to the processing finger and transfer the code to the CSPE to assist in interference matrix construction. An example of such interference matrix construction is also described in the '015 patent application.
- With the interference matrix construction, the CSPE may generate a cancellation operator that is used to substantially cancel the one or more interfering signals from the digital signal. Accordingly, the CSPE of one embodiment of the invention includes a canceller that is configured for using an interference matrix and generating a cancellation operator. In another embodiment of the invention, the cancellation operator is a projection operator that projects the digital signal onto a subspace that is substantially orthogonal to a subspace of the interference. For example, the projection operator may be generated according to the form:
P s ⊥ =I−S(S T S)−1 S T, (Eq. 1)
where Ps ⊥ is the projection operator, I is an identity matrix, S is the interference matrix and ST is a transpose of S. - Once the cancellation operator is generated, the CSPE may apply the cancellation operator to the digital signal. Application of the cancellation operator to the digital signal substantially cancels the interfering signals specified in the generation of the interference matrix. The resultant substantially interference canceled digital signal may have its bit representation adjusted such that it occupies the appropriate bit width for subsequent processing by a processing finger of the rake receiver. For example, the CSPE may comprise a gain controller, such as an AGC, that receives the substantially interference canceled digital signal and adjusts the energy of the signal to a bit width required by the rake receiver. In one embodiment of the invention, the interference matrix is constructed using a digital signal representation of a different resolution than that used in the processing of the rake receiver.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram ofdiscretizer 300 as used in one embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment,discretizer 300 comprises a pair of digital conversion chains, each comprising an A/D converter 301 (labeled A/D converter 301 1, and 301 2) and an AGC 302 (labeled AGC 302 1, and 302 2). The digital conversion chains comprising A/D converter 301 1 receives the baseband filtered signal produced by a down converter, such asdown converter 101 ofFIG. 1 , and converts the signal to a digital signal at a resolution that represents the baseband filtered signal with a first bit width M1. The resultant digital signal is then transferred to AGC 302 1, for requisite amplitude adjustment and scaling of a typical rake receiver. For example, AGC 302 1, may receive a digital signal comprising a first number of bits that represents the baseband filtered signal. After adjusting amplitude of the digital representation, the number of bits representing the signal may be adjusted to a second bit width N1, to appropriately configure the signal for the requisite dynamic range of the receiver. The scaled and adjusted digital signal may then be transferred as digital signal y1, to the searcher finger and the processing fingers of the rake receiver, such assearcher finger 103 and processingfingers 104 respectively ofFIG. 1 . - Similarly, the baseband filtered signal is transferred to the digital conversion chain comprising A/D converter 301 2 and AGC 302 2. In this embodiment of the invention, the digital conversion chain converts the baseband filtered signal to a digital signal with a different bit width. For example, A/D converter 301 2 may provide a different bit representation of the baseband filtered signal with a second bit width with higher resolution represented by a number of bits M2. The second bit width digital signal is then transferred to AGC 302 2 for amplitude adjustment and scaling to generate a digital signal y2 similar to that of AGC 302 1. The digital signal y2 may then be transferred to a processing engine, such as a CSPE described hereinbelow, for interference cancellation upon a signal.
- While one embodiment has been shown in described, those skilled in the art should readily recognize that the invention is not intended to be limited to the number of components within
discretizer 300. For example, in a receiver employing receive diversity, each receiver chain of the receive diversity receiver may use one or more processing engines to substantially cancel interfering signals. Accordingly, each processing engine may be configured to receive a unique digital signal discretized to a unique bit width. Alternatively, each processing engine may be configured to receive either or both of the digital signals y1 and y2 as described herein. For at least these reasons, the invention should only be limited to the language recited in the claims and their equivalents. - Additionally, the embodiment shown and described herein may be implemented in a variety of ways. For example,
discretizer 300 may be implemented in software, firmware, hardware or various combinations thereof. Those skilled in the art are familiar with software, firmware, hardware and their various combinations and understand that such implementations are typically a matter of design choice. To illustrate, those skilled in the art may choose to implement certain aspects of the invention in hardware using Application Specific Integrated Circuit (“ASIC”) chips, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (“FPGA”), Digital Signal Processors (“DSP”) and/or other integrated circuitry (e.g., custom designed circuitry). Still, some aspects of the invention may be implemented through combinations of software using Java, C, C++, Matlab, Verilog, VHDL, and/or processor specific machine and assembly languages. -
FIG. 4 israke receiver 400 withdiscretizer 300 as used in one embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment,discretizer 300 ofFIG. 3 is implemented within receiverfront end 401. Receiver front-end 401 also comprises downconverter 101 ofFIG. 1 . Accordingly, receiver front-end 401 receives an analog radio signal and converts the signal to baseband for subsequent digital conversion bydiscretizer 300 as described above inFIG. 3 . - In this embodiment, the digital signal y1, is transferred to
searcher finger 103 and processingfingers 104 1 . . . N Processing functionality of the digital signal y1 bysearcher finger 103 and processingfingers 104 1 . . . p is substantially the same as that described inFIG. 1 . For example,searcher finger 103 may detect signal paths and assign the signal paths to processingfingers 104 for processing of a SOI. Differing fromFIG. 1 , however, is the introduction of digital signal y2 bydiscretizer 300. -
Discretizer 300 generates the digital signal y2 by converting the filtered baseband signal into a digital signal representation with a bit width that differs from the bit width used for signal y1. In one embodiment of the invention, a higher bit resolution used for digital signal y2 is than that used for digital signal y1. The digital signal y2 is transferred toCSPE 402 wherein signal cancellation is performed thereon. - In this embodiment of the invention,
CSPE 402 receives the digital signal y2, as well as PN codes, chip enable (“CE”) signals and/or symbol boundary (“SB”) signals. The PN codes, CE signals and the SB signals are generated by the processingfingers 104 and may be used to generate an interference matrix as described hereinabove. For example, SB signals specify a chip location of a symbol boundary in the signal y2. CE signals specify a sample location of the symbol boundary and provide a reference for decimation of chip rate data. Additionally, phase estimates of the signals assigned to processingfingers 104 may also be transferred toCSPE 402 for interference matrix construction. Examples of such phase estimates are described in the '015 patent application. - Once the interference matrix is generated,
CSPE 402 substantially cancels one or more interfering signals from the digital signal y2. For example, the PN codes and/or phase estimates of interfering signals may be used to construct the interference matrix. The CE signals and the SB signals may be used as time reference information in the construction of the interference matrix.CSPE 402 may then generate a cancellation operator, which is applied to the digital signal y2 to substantially cancel the one or more interfering signals from signal y2 and generate a substantially interference cancelled signal y2′. In one embodiment of the invention, the cancellation operator is a projection operator as described hereinabove. - Based on a signal indication from
rake receiver 400,CSPE 402 may select either or both of the uncancelled digital signal y2 or the substantially interference cancelled digital signal y2′ for processing by one or more of processingfingers 104 1 . . . P. For example, onceCSPE 402 has performed signal cancellation upon digital signal y2 and has generated the substantially interference canceled digital signal y2′,CSPE 402 may selectively transfer either or both of the digital signal y2 and the substantially interference canceled digital signal y2′to the processing fingers 404 for tracking and demodulation via an AGC inCSPE 502. The AGC effectively reduces the bitwidth of the selected signal(s) (i.e., y2 and/or y2′) to a bitwidth commensurate with the rake receiver. In this embodiment, the AGC produces the signal y3 from the signal y2 and signal y3′ from the signal y2′, respectively, where signal y3 is substantially equivalent to y1. The demodulated signals from processingfingers 104 may then be combined bycombiner 105 to generate an improved estimate of an SOI. - While one embodiment has been shown and described herein, those skilled in the art should readily recognize that invention is not intended to be limited to the illustrated embodiment. For example,
CSPE 402 may be configured to generate a plurality of cancellation operators to substantially cancel a plurality of interfering signals. Such interference cancellation may be performed in either a serial, a parallel or a hybrid serial/parallel manner such as described in the '777, '346 and '669 patent applications. Accordingly, the invention should only be limited by the language recited in the claims and their equivalents. -
FIG. 5 is a block diagram ofCSPE 402 in one embodiment of the invention. In this preferred embodiment,CSPE 402 is configured for substantially canceling one or more interfering signals from digital signal y2.CSPE 402 comprisesS matrix generator 501 which is configured for generating an interference matrix “S” that is used to substantially cancel one or more interfering signals from the digital signal y2. For example,matrix generator 501 constructs an interference matrix from components of the one or more interfering signals. The generated S matrix is used to generate a cancellation operator which is applied to the digital signal y2 to substantially cancel the interfering signals used in the matrix construction. Accordingly,CSPE 402 also comprisescanceller 503 which uses the generated S matrix to generate a cancellation operator for application to the digital signal y2. -
S matrix generator 501 is configured for generating the S matrix from a PN code(s) of the interfering signal(s) and the digital signal y2.Matrix generator 501 may also be configured for constructing the interference matrix from a CE signal(s), an SB signal(s) and/or phase estimate(s) of the interfering signal(s) as described above inFIG. 4 . Interference matrix construction is shown and described in greater detail in the '015 application, which is incorporated by reference. - The matrix generated by
matrix generator 501 is transferred to canceller 503 for the generation of the cancellation operator. In one embodiment of the invention, the cancellation operator is a projection operator, which is used to project the digital signal y2 onto a subspace that is substantially orthogonal to a subspace spanned by the interfering signal(s). For example,canceller 503 may generate the projection operator substantially according to the following equation:
P s ⊥ =I−S(S T S)− S T, (Eq. 1)
where Ps ⊥is the projection operator, I is an identity matrix, S is the interference matrix and ST is a transpose of S. -
Canceller 503 applies the cancellation operator to the digital signal y2, which substantially cancels or removes the interfering signal(s) specified in the S matrix from the digital signal y2. The cancellation bycanceller 503 results in a substantially interference canceled digital signal y2′. The substantial cancellation of the interfering(s) may lead to an improved Signal to Noise Ratio (“SNR”) of an SOI within the digital signal y2 since the signal energy contributions of the interfering signals are substantially removed from the overall signal energy of the digital signal y2. - Alternatively,
canceller 503 may generate the substantially interference canceled digital signal y2′ directly according to the following equation:
P s ⊥ y=y−S(S T S)−1 S T y, (Eq.2)
where Ps ⊥, is the projection operator, S is the interference matrix, ST is a transpose of S and y is the digital signal. - Upon generating the substantially interference canceled digital signal y2′,
CSPE 402 may select either the input digital signal y2 or the substantially interference canceled digital signal y2′ for transfer toAGC 504. For example, a decision may be made that digital signal y2 is sufficient for processing or alternatively that the substantially interference canceled digital signal y2 ′ would be preferable. Such a decision may be performed either byCSPE 402 or by other components within the receiver and external toCSPE 402. Once the determination is made, a control signal may be transferred toselector 505 to transfer either the selected signal to the processing finger(s) 104 ofreceiver 400 viaAGC 504. As the digital signal y2 may be selected for processing,CSPE 402 also comprises adelay element 502 which may compensate for delays introduced by the signal cancellation processing ofS matrix generator 501 andcanceller 503. In this preferred embodiment,CSPE 402 comprisesAGC 504 communicatively coupled toselector 505 and configured for adjusting the amplitude of a digital signal y2 or a substantially interference canceled digital signal y2′ to a requisite amplitude and/or bit width for a receiver. For example, rakereceiver 400FIG. 4 may require a particular bit width for processing. Accordingly,AGC 504 may adjust the amplitude and bit width of the substantially interference canceled digital signal y2′ to a level commensurate with the bit widths and dynamic range of the rake receiver. This adjustment byAGC 504 to either the digital signal y2 or the substantially interference canceled signal y2′ produces the signals y3 and y3′, respectively where the signal y3 is substantially equivalent to the signal y1. The resulting signals y3 and/or y3 ′ produced byAGC 504 are transferred to theprocessing fingers 104 and/orsearcher finger 103 ofFIG. 4 . - Although one preferred embodiment of a CSPE has been shown and described, the invention is not intended to be limited to the preferred embodiment. Other embodiments may use other inputs for S matrix construction. An example of such an embodiment is shown and described below in
FIG. 7 . Accordingly, the invention should not be limited to the preferred embodiment shown and described herein. Rather, the invention should only be limited by the claims and their equivalents. Additionally, those skilled in the art should readily recognize that the invention may be implemented in a variety of manners such as those employing software, hardware, firmware or various combinations thereof as described above herein. -
FIG. 6 israke receiver 500 withdiscretizer 300 in another embodiment of the invention. In this alternative embodiment, rakereceiver 500 is configured substantially the same asrake receiver 400 ofFIG. 4 . Differing fromFIG. 4 , however, isCSPE 502, which is configured for receiving—in addition to the digital signal y2 —the digital signal y1.CSPE 502 is still configured for generating an interference matrix S and using the interference matrix to substantially cancel one or more interfering signals from the digital signal y2. But,CSPE 502 generates the interference matrix S using the digital signal yi. -
CSPE 502 receives the digital signal y1 as well as a PN code(s) of one or more interfering signals to generate the interference matrix. Additionally,CSPE 502 may use CE signal(s) and/or SB signal(s) to assist in the generation of an interference matrix as described hereinabove. In a first embodiment,CSPE 502 uses the digital signal y1 to generate an S matrix but perform the signal cancellation on the larger bit width digital signal y2. In a second embodiment,CSPE 502 uses the digital signal y2 for both S matrix generation and the signal to which signal cancellation is performed upon. Accordingly, interference matrix construction and signal cancellation do not change significantly with respect to the matrix construction and signal cancellation performed byCSPE 402 ofFIG. 5 . Examples ofCSPE 502 is illustrated and described in greater detail below inFIGS. 7 and 11 . - Once
CSPE 502 has performed signal cancellation upon digital signal y2, a substantially interference canceled digital signal y2′ is generated. An AGC converts the interference canceled digital signal y2′ into an appropriate bit width interference canceled digital signal y3 ′ forrake receiver 500.CSPE 502 may then selectively transfer either or both of the digital signal y1′ or the substantially interference canceled digital signal y3′ to theprocessing fingers 104 for tracking and demodulation. The demodulated signals from processingfingers 104 may then be combined bycombiner 105 to generate an improved estimate of an SOI. -
FIG. 7 is a block diagram ofCSPE 502 in another embodiment of the invention. In this alternative embodiment,CSPE 502 comprisesS matrix generator 701 which is configured for generating an interference matrix S from digital signal y1 as described in an embodiment ofFIG. 6 . For example, discretizer 300 ofFIG. 3 generates two digital signals y1 and y2 at different resolutions; thereby each signal has a different bit width.CSPE 502 may receive each of the signals for signal cancellation purposes, whereinmatrix generator 701 uses the digital signal y1 as an input to the generation of the interference matrix S. Matrix construction performed bymatrix generator 701 is, however, substantially the same as that described in the '015 patent application. - As with the matrix construction performed in
FIG. 5 ,matrix generator 701 receives a PN code(s) of one or more interfering signals for the generation of the interference matrix. Also,matrix generator 701 may receive CE signal(s), SB signal(s) and/or phase estimate(s) of the interfering signals as previously described herein. Once the interference matrix S is constructed,matrix generator 701 transfers the matrix to canceller 603. Canceller 603 performs signal cancellation upon the digital signal y2 by applying the cancellation operator to the signal. The signal cancellation results in a substantially interference canceled digital signal y2 ′. AGC subsequently reduces the resolution of the interference canceled digital signal y2 ′ to produce the smaller bit width interference canceled digital signal y3′. As withCSPE 402 ofFIG. 5 ,CSPE 502 selectively transfers either the digital signal y1 or the substantially interference canceled digital signal y3 ′ to processing fingers, such asprocessing fingers 104 ofFIG. 6 , viaselector 505. To account for delays introduced by signal cancellation, delay module 602 delays the digital signal y1 before transfer to the processing fingers, as was similarly performed inFIG. 5 . Moreover, an additional AGC is not required afterselector 505 as was required inCSPE 402 ofFIG. 5 . -
FIG. 11 is a block diagram ofCSPE 502 in another embodiment of the invention. In this alternative embodiment,CSPE 502 comprisesS matrix generator 1101 which is configured for generating an interference matrix S from digital signal y1 as described in an embodiment ofFIG. 6 . For example, discretizer 300 ofFIG. 3 generates two digital signals y1 and y2 at different resolutions; thereby each signal has a different bit width.CSPE 502 may receive each of the signals for signal cancellation purposes, whereinmatrix generator 1101 uses the digital signal y2 as an input to the generation of the interference matrix S. Matrix construction performed bymatrix generator 1101 is, however, substantially the same as that described in the '015 patent application. - As with the matrix construction performed in
FIG. 5 ,matrix generator 701 receives a PN code(s) of one or more interfering signals for the generation of the interference matrix. Also,matrix generator 1101 may receive CE signal(s), SB signal(s) and/or phase estimate(s) of the interfering signals as previously described herein. Once the interference matrix S is constructed,matrix generator 1101 transfers the matrix to canceller 603. Canceller 603 performs signal cancellation upon the digital signal y2 by applying the cancellation operator to the signal. The signal cancellation results in a substantially interference canceled digital signal y2 ′. AGC subsequently reduces the resolution of the interference canceled digital signal y2 ′ to produce the smaller bit width interference canceled digital signal y3′. As withCSPE 402 ofFIG. 5 ,CSPE 502 selectively transfers either the digital signal y1 or the substantially interference canceled digital signal y3 ′ to processing fingers, such asprocessing fingers 104 ofFIG. 6 , viaselector 505. To account for delays introduced by signal cancellation, delay module 602 delays the digital signal y1 before transfer to the processing fingers, as was similarly performed inFIG. 5 . Moreover, an additional AGC is not required afterselector 505 as was required inCSPE 402 ofFIG. 5 . While one alternative embodiment of a CSPE has been shown and described, the invention is not intended to be limited to this alternative embodiment. Rather, the invention should only be limited by the claims and their equivalents. Additionally, those skilled in the art should readily recognize that the invention may be implemented in a variety of manners such as those employing software, hardware, firmware or various combinations thereof as described above herein. -
FIG. 8 is a block diagram ofrake receiver 800 in another embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, rake receiver illustrates dual digital conversion chains (i.e., a first digital conversion chain comprising A/D 301 1 and AGC 301 1 and a second digital conversion chain comprising AID 301 2 and AGC 301 2). These digital conversion chains operate in the same manner asdiscretizer 300 ofFIG. 3 to generate a first digital signal y1 at a bit width N1, and a second digital signal y2 at a second bit width N2. -
Rake receiver 800 comprises a plurality of processingfingers 104 1 . . . N, each comprising a PN code generator 801, a tracker 802 and acorrelator 803. The digital signal y1 is transferred from AGC 301 1 tosearcher finger 103 and/or to processingfingers 104 1 . . . N as performed by a typical rake receiver. - PN code generators 801 1. . . N generate PN codes of interfering signals, which are used by trackers 802 1 . . . N to track signal paths assigned to the associated
signal processing fingers 104 1 . . . N. In this embodiment, trackers 802 1 . . . N transfer the tracked signal path information to cancellers 806 1 . . . N for interference cancellation withinCSPE 805 and to delay elements 808 1 . . . N. For simplicity, interference matrix construction is not illustrated in this embodiment. However, interference matrix construction for the purposes of this embodiment can be assumed as being performed bycancellers 806 1 . . . N. - In
cancellers 806 1 . . . N, S matrix generation and the interference cancellation operation may be performed with any combination of digital signals y1 and y2. For example, digital signal y2 may be used for the generation of the S matrix while the interference cancellation operation may be performed on digital signal y1. Similarly, the digital signal y2 may be used for both S matrix generation and as the signal to which the interference cancellation operator is applied. Additionally, trackers 802 1. . . N may transfer the on-time PN codes toCSPE 805 for interference matrix construction. Trackers 802 1 . . . N may also transfer CE signals and SB signals toCSPE 805 for S matrix construction.Cancellers 806 1 . . . N perform interference cancellation either the digital signal y1 or y2, wherein each signal cancellation substantially removes one or more interfering signals from the digital signal as determined by the interference matrix generated within aparticular canceller 806. Additionally, cancellers 806 1 . . . N have AGC modules that adjust the bitwidth to N2 as AGC 302 1 does inFIG. 3 producing the set of signals {y3′}. - In this embodiment,
CSPE 805 selectively transfers a delayed digital signal y1 (i.e., as delayed by a delayed element 807) and/or one or more substantially interference canceled digital signals y3′ to correlators 803 1 . . . N for subsequent demodulation. In an alternative embodiment the delayed digital signal is y2 that is passed through an AGC similar to AGC 302 1 as inFIG. 3 to produce an N2 bit delayed digital signal. Each signal y3′ typically comprises an SOI with a plurality of interfering signals substantially canceled.Delay element 807 delays the uncanceled digital signal y1 to accommodate for delays introduced by the signal cancellation processes ofcancellers 806 1 . . . N. - Similarly, delay elements 80 7 operate to delay signals transferred to
CSPE 805 to accommodate for delays introduced bycancellers 806 1 . . . N. These delayed signals are also transferred to correlators 803 1 . . . N for demodulation. In one embodiment, thecorrelators 803 1 . . . N selectively demodulate either an uncanceled signal (i.e., the delayed signal) or the signals selected by selector 101 (i.e., the substantially interference canceled signals of y2′ and/or the uncanceled signal y2). Moreover, the delay elements 808 1 . . . N may delay the PN code(s), CE signal(s), and/or SB signal(s) inCSPE 805. -
CSPE 805 may selectively transfer one or more of the substantially interference canceled digital signals {y3′} generated bycancellers 806 1 . . . N and/or the digital signal y1 as delayed bydelay element 807 to rakereceiver 800. - The signals that are transferred to correlators 803 1 . . . N may have their amplitudes adjusted to amplitudes substantially equivalent to the amplitude scaling of the RF front-end of the
rake receiver 401. Additionally, the signals may be adjusted to an appropriate bit width (i.e., dynamic range) by a gain controller of therake receiver 800. For example, a gain controller, such as an AGC, may be configured to the output ofselector 101 or configured withincancellers 806 1 . . . N to adjust the amplitude and/or scaling of the signals transferred tocorrelators 803 1 . . . N Examples of such gain controllers are illustrated and described inelements 504 ofFIGS. 5 and 7 . - Once demodulated, the demodulated signals are transferred from
correlators 803 1. . . N tocombiner 105 to generate an improved estimate of an SOI. Thecombiner 105 may combine the signals using any well-known combining method. For example,combiner 105 may combine the signals using an MRC combining. - Rake receivers and their associated processing fingers, combiners, and various other components are well-known to those skilled in the art. The components of processing fingers, such as PN code generators 801, trackers 802 and
correlators 803, are also well-known to though skilled in the art. - While one embodiment has been shown and described herein, the invention is not intended to be limited to the illustrated embodiment. Rather, the invention should only be limited to language recited in the claims and their equivalents. Additionally, those skilled in the art should readily recognize that the embodiment may be implemented in a variety of manners that include software, firmware, hardware or various combinations thereof as described hereinabove.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram ofrake receiver 900 another embodiment of the invention. In this preferred embodiment, the digital signals y1′ and y2 generated by a discretizer having two digital conversion chains (e.g., as indiscretizer 300 ofFIG. 3 ) are transferred to the processing portion ofrake receiver 900 and signal cancellation portion of the receiver. For example,searcher finger 103 receives the digital signal y1 to detect a signal path therefrom. Additionally, the signal y1′ is transferred to processingfingers 104 1 . . . N for PN code generation by PN code generators 801 1 . . . N.Delay 906 is introduced to the digital signal y1 to compensate for delays introduced byCSPE 905. - PN code generators 801 1 . . . N transfer PN codes of interfering signals to
CSPE 905 for S matrix construction as described hereinabove. For example, the PN codes may be used to generate interference matrices as described in the '015 patent application. The PN codes are masked forward to advance the PN sequences ahead by an amount substantially equivalent to the delay of cancellers 902 1 . . . N. This masking when applied to the PN generating sequence advances the PN sequence and may be used to compensate for delays introduced by cancellers 902 1 . . . N. Again, interference matrix construction is not illustrated in this embodiment for simplicity but is assumed as being performed by cancellers 902 1 . . . N on the signal y2 for the purposes of this embodiment. - Once the interference matrices are generated, cancellers 902 1 . . . N generate cancellation operators as described hereinabove and apply those operators to the digital signal y2. Cancellers 902 1 . . . N thereby generate a plurality of substantially interference canceled digital signals (i.e., a plurality of signals {y3 ′}) wherein each signal generated by canceller typically has a unique combination of interfering signals substantially removed from the digital signal y2. An AGC module, such as 504 in
FIG. 5 , adjusts the amplitude and bit width of each of the interference canceled digital signals y2 ′ producing the set of interference canceled digital signals {y3′}. -
CSPE 905 may selectively transfer one or more of the substantially interference canceled digital signals y3 ′ generated by cancellers 902 1 . . . N and/or the digital signal y1 delayed byelement 906. For example, rakereceiver 900 may determine that signal quality of the delayed uncanceled signals being processed by processingfingers 104 is sufficient for the recovery of transmitted data.Rake receiver 900 may therefore select the delayed digital signal y1 or processing as opposed to one of set of the substantially interference canceled digital signals {y3′}. - The signals that are transferred to correlators 803 1 . . . N may have their amplitudes adjusted to requisite amplitudes of the rake receiver to exploit the full dynamic range of the available bits. Additionally, the bit width of the signals may be scaled to a requisite number of representative bits N1 for the
rake receiver 800. For example, a gain controller, such as an AGC, may be configured within cancellers 902 1 . . . N. Alternatively, an AGC may be configured to the output ofselector 101 to adjust the amplitude and/or scaling of the signals transferred tocorrelators 803 1 . . . N. Examples of such gain controllers are illustrated and described inelements 504 ofFIGS. 5 and 7 . - While the preferred embodiment has been shown and described herein, the invention is not intended to be limited to the preferred illustrated embodiment. Rather, the invention should only be limited to language recited in the claims and their equivalents. Additionally, those skilled in the art should readily recognize that the embodiment may be implemented in a variety of manners that include software, firmware, hardware or various combinations thereof as described hereinabove.

FIG. 10 isflowchart 1000 of one methodical embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, an analog signal is received inelement 1001. The analog signal may be down converted to baseband and filtered as described hereinabove. The signal is then sampled, or digitized, at first and second resolution to respectively generate first and second digital signals inelements - The first digital signal may be used to generate interference codes of one or more interfering signals comprised therein, in
element 1004. For example, the digital signals may comprise a plurality of signals such as an SOI and one or more interfering signals. The first digital signal may be transferred to processing fingers of a rake receiver, which may be used to generate PN codes of the interfering signals. These interference codes may be used to substantially cancel the interfering signals from the second digital signal inelement 1005. - In one embodiment of the invention, the interference codes are used to generate one or more interference matrices, which are further used to respectively generate one or more cancellation operators, in
element 1006. The cancellation operators may be projection operators that project the second digital signal onto a subspace that is substantially orthogonal to the subspace of one or more interfering signals. Such a projection operator is described in Eq. 1 hereinabove. The cancellation operators may be applied to the second digital signal to substantially cancel interfering signals and improve SNR(s) of the SOI(s). - Once the interfering signals are substantially cancelled from the second digital signal, the resultant substantially interference canceled digital signals are transferred to processing fingers of a receiver, in
element 1007. The signals may be subsequently demodulated by the processing fingers, inelement 1008. Additional processing may be performed by the rake receiver and may include MRC combining, descrambling, deinterleaving and/or decoding of the signals as described hereinabove. - While one preferred methodical embodiment has been shown and described, the invention is not intended to be limited to the preferred embodiment. Rather the invention should only be limited to the language recited in the claims and their equivalents. Additionally, those skilled in the art should readily recognize that the methodical embodiment may be implemented in a variety of manners that include software, firmware, hardware or various combinations thereof.
- The embodiments described herein may substantially reduce interference caused by unwanted signals and improve signal processing. For example, poor signal quality due to interference may deleteriously affect acquisition, tracking and demodulation of selected signals. A reduction in interference may, therefore, result in improved signal recovery of the selected signals. In regards to such benefits, the embodiments herein may advantageously require use within a CDMA telephony system. Improved processing within a CDMA telephony system may be exploited in terms of increased system capacity, transmit power reduction, increased system coverage and/or increased data rates. However, those skilled in the art should readily recognize that the above embodiments should not be limited to any particular method of signaling. For example, the embodiments disclosed herein may also be advantageous to systems employing CDMA (e.g., such as cdmaOne and cdma2OOO), WCDMA, Broadband CDMA, UMTS and GPS signals.
- Additionally, it should be noted that the above embodiments of the invention may be implemented in a variety of ways. For example, the above embodiments may be implemented in software, firmware, hardware or various combinations thereof. Those skilled in the art are familiar with software, firmware, hardware and their various combinations. To illustrate, those skilled in the art may choose to implement certain aspects of the invention in hardware using ASIC chips, FPGAs, DSPs and/or other integrated circuitry (e.g., custom designed circuitry). Still, some aspects of the invention may be implemented through combinations of software using C, C++, Matlab, Verilog, VHDL and/or processor specific machine and assembly languages. Accordingly, those skilled in the art should readily recognize that such implementations are a matter of design choice and that the invention should not be limited to any particular implementation.
- While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, such illustration and description is to be considered as exemplary and not restrictive in character. Accordingly, it should be understood that only the preferred embodiment and minor variants thereof have been shown and described and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention are desired to be protected.
